Damp proofing information for your home
Understand common damp issues and discover how Premier Damp and Building Ltd provides lasting solutions. We're a family-run business dedicated to trust and quality in Ilford, Essex, Kent, London, and the Midlands.
Common damp problems in your area
The most common damp problems affecting properties are rising damp, penetrating damp, and condensation. Rising damp occurs when groundwater travels up through walls due to a failed or missing damp-proof course (DPC), while condensation is caused by excess moisture and poor ventilation, leading to mould growth and damp walls. If left untreated, damp can cause structural damage, timber decay, peeling plaster, and health issues. At Premier Damp and Building Ltd, our experienced damp proofing specialists provide professional damp surveys, accurate diagnosis, and long-lasting damp proofing solutions using industry-approved methods. We proudly serve homeowners and commercial clients across Essex, London, Kent, and the Midlands, helping protect properties from damp, mould, and moisture for years to come.

Our proven process typically includes removing contaminated plaster, installing a new chemical damp-proof course (DPC), applying professional waterproof tanking systems and membranes, followed by high-quality replastering to create a durable, moisture-resistant finish.
